Appropriately for the year, it's 76 LBS :shock: with zinc plating. This has cost me $715 and will outlast the vehicle. Takes fuel through a 1.5 NPT fitting. A small downside is that it took 4 months for the back and forth with the fabricator as I mocked it up. POR 15 tank sealer. The sides of the ta...

I'm glad to see this forum is still active and there are people left to offend. The stock tank on my car had inherent design flaws. with 3 bolts mounting the tank at the seams it's only a matter of time before it starts leaking. I could buy a new fuel tank from Wallothnesch but where's the fun in th...

Just got this magnet with my Rock Auto parts. I just a bought a sweet pair of AC Delco rear brake rotors for my shark. Made in Italy (like that means anything).

On this episode of this old Saab... nah just kidding. Stitching 16 gauge wasn't too bad. I used a Hobart MIG welder with 100% CO2 mentioned in another post. Just some cheesy plates mainly to reinforce that square so I can continue to use it for my "jacking pleasure". https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4...

I'm using POR 15 on the peripherals here. The fender is obviously rotten to the core, but I have this idea of working chain/bar oil into the seam to to treat the unseen . But then top coating it for aesthetics will be difficult. http://www.type2.com/library/body/baroil.htm https://farm5.staticflickr...

I will load the pic soon but I have a rust hole above the front jack point. The jack point is weakened but mostly intact. Peek-a-boo, wire harness. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4663/25796656538_5867a03342_k.jpg Unibody rust hole above left front jack point. by Matt Squirsh , on Flickr Im making so...

Congrats on the acquisition. New Mexico is emissions friendly, just saying. Even in Abq, over 35 years old is the golden number for emissions exempt. Check to see what year your cylinder head is, the one I just replaced was a 79' and it was cracked.

Howdy guys, I removed the fender for rust repairs and simply slid the rocker panel trim aft in order to facilitate removal. Could someone suggest a good prying tool? I was so scared of bending the trim. Also, are these clips #17 ? http://2009.bmwfans.info/parts/catalog/E24/Coupe/Europe/633CSi-M30/LH...
